    Looks like they used just a little bit too much of that 5th character before creating that font!:)

    That's quite the telephoto lens you have there OMW, would it be rude to ask what your rig is?

    Best regards, Brian.

    Nothing fancy, it's a 18-250mm lens. I can get up to 400mm when I crop a photo.

    Those slips held boats between 40-55 feet. A witness said that they heard loud explosions prior to a fireball (propane tanks?).

    Looks to me like a Sea Ray Sedan Bridge on the left, A Meridian on the right, and in the middle I think maybe a Navigator?

    Trust me, there is nothing more scarey than watching a fibreglass boat burn.
    They go up so quickly and the smoke is so black. Shivver down the spine.

    - Nice new Queenship, I hope that purple/blue night lighting display was a one-off option.

    No sir, these are the US high endurance coast guard cutters. But I do get what you mean because they vaguely resemble the US Navy's Spraunce-class destoryers. However, these HE cutters are smaller than the sprauce class.

    Good eye Ron, it's the USCGC Mellon, a purpose built Cutter. Very handsome ship.

    Thanks for the DockWise with Ferry picture. Did not make the local news for Ferry number 2, still awesome sight. I assume that ferry number three (the last one) will be shipped out in the next month or so. Your updates are very much appreciated!
